Soap carvings are simple to begin for children and adults alike. Soap is soft enough that you can use a sharp knife or you can use household objects such as spoons, forks, and toothpicks to make your design. In addition, soap bars are readily available and can be shaped into designs as complex as you desire. To make a soap carving, all you need is to find soap and tools, trace your design, then remove the excess soap bits.

1. Get a knife. A carving or paring knife is perfect for whittling down the soap into a basic shape. Soap is often soft enough that kids can use butter knives, plastic knives, spoons, or popsicle sticks. For detail work, you may wish to get a finer knife such as a detailing knife or substitute in an orangewood stick or toothpick.

2. Cover your work area. Spread newspaper out over the area where you'll do the carving. When you're finished, you'll be able to wrap up the newspaper to easily remove the soap fragments. Another option is to hold the soap over a bowl as you work.

1. Decide on the subject. What you make out of the soap is only limited by your imagination. Experienced carvers make highly-detailed flowers and animals. For beginners, choose a block shape such as a turtle, fish, or heart. These patterns fit the shape of the soap bar and don't require much detail work.

2. Draw an outline. You can use a pencil to make the outline or you can etch the outline into the soap using a knife, orangewood stick, or toothpick. This basic outline shows you what parts of the soap you need to remove.

3. Begin detail work. At this point, you may want to switch to a pointed knife, orange wood stick, plastic fork, toothpick, or other sharp, precise instrument. Work from the middle of the bar and drag the implement to scrape out small details such as eyes, scales, and petals.

4. Polish the soap. Carefully use your fingers or a paper towel to remove any soap shavings left on the surface. Use as little pressure as possible. The soap will be fragile if you added a lot of details. Wet your finger and rub the surface to create a smoother finish. Let the soap dry for a day if you do this.

1. Use scented soap. Once you obtain scented soap, you can add some flair. For pineapple-scented soap, cut the soap into the shape of a pineapple. This is a simple way to practice carving and the design shows exactly what kind of soap you have.

2. Create layered flowers. Instead of cutting out a simple block shape, use detail work to create more elaborate designs. To achieve three-dimensional flower carvings, for example, use a sharp carving tool. Create the middle of the flower in the center of the soap and shave away excess soap as you move outwards and sculpt thin petals.

Is there a way to repair a soap carving if a piece has broken off?

When we did this project in grade school, our teacher had us stick a toothpick into the main part and then stick the broken part on the other end, then wet each side so it fuses together. If it's a small enough thing that broke off, you probably don't even need the toothpick.
